Great beer!!! And a great experience with Hunter! Thanks for making us feel at home and helping us with our "research". A great time!
The beer flight paired with cheese was a unique and delicious experience. The service and views were both great!
Helpful and informative. Great service as always! One of our favorite stops!
This is a great place for food and drinks! Visited from California and it reminded me of my own hometown local brewery. Shaunak was our server and he was great, very knowledgeable about the beers. The rosemary beer was our favorite
Amazing beer. Outstanding service. Thank you, Ayush Ahuja for the recommendations!
I brought in my out of town friends tonight, including two friends who own a brewery in Colorado and are here doing a collab with another local brewery. I thought they’d like it, as they make a similar style of beers at The Exchange and we had been recommended it by a local vineyard earlier that day, too. Unfortunately, we were really disheartened by our experience tonight.
One of the men working came down at the end of his shift and was talking to the man working behind the bar. I kept noticing him looking over at us (a table of four women and one man) and making eye contact with me. My friend across from me said she’d noticed the same and while it felt like he was staring, I thought I must be imagining it and tried to ignore it.
A few minutes later he came and stood by our table and was clearly looking at me. I smiled politely and he then approached the table and said: “I’m great at guessing birthdays, I bet I could guess yours.” I thought maybe it was a weird bit and said: “okay, I guess you can try?”. He said, "October 10th… because you're a real 10/10." Then when I uncomfortably brushed him off, he left for the night shortly after.
As we were leaving we approached our server behind the bar and let him know his colleague had made us feel really uncomfortable with his behaviour tonight and he brushed it off and said he didn’t really know him and “just works there”, despite giving him a bro hug goodbye and clearly having a relationship with him. Super disappointing to see the whole men excusing other men’s crappy behaviour. The main floor room is small and there were only two or three other patrons at the bar so I genuinely have a hard time believing he hadn’t seen/heard his colleague’s behaviour.
While I enjoyed my drinks, I feel like environment and feeling comfortable and welcome is so important in a brewery, especially for women in brewing / women out for drinks together. We were really appalled by the behaviour of the men that The Exchange employs and we won’t be back.
We’d encourage other women to find a more welcoming environment to enjoy craft beer.
We had the flight! Pumpkin beer was very good! We also got the pretzels which was hot and served with some nice dips! I noticed it wasn’t salted but I kinda liked it like that.
We enjoyed our food, our wine and our server Shaun from Mumbai was wonderful. Thank you. First time here.
Love their beer and cheese paired flights!
Limited wine selection. Sat on the patio at back, which was nice. Warm olives were good. One of or party left her sunglasses behind and came back later and they held them for us. Right downtown. Recommended.

The beer here is really great, especially the bottled offerings. I took the time to read though the labels on their extensive bottle selection and found a couple that were both intriguing to me and that I thought would be a hit with my more wine drinker friends. They were an absolute hit! I came back the next day to try some of the draught offerings which were also pretty tasty.
Got beer flight with 6 different beers and was really happy with all of it.
